Introducing the Epiphone Wilshire Phant-o-matic [Frank Iero's Collaboration]

Epiphone is proud to announce one of our most anticipated new models, the Wilshire "Phant-o-matic." Designed in collaboration with Frank Iero guitarist for multi-platinum band My Chemical Romance, the Wilshire "Phant-o-matic" combines an incredible array of features that only Epiphone would dare put in one instrument. The result is one of the smartest and most flexible guitars on the market with all the vintage styling that made Wilshire models a behind-the-scenes favorite of Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Paul Gilbert, and Steve Marriot. 

Premium Electronics: My Chemical Romance have sold almost 7 million albums worldwide and know a thing or two about what makes a great, reliable, and cutting edge instrument. Working closely together over several years of research and development, Frank Iero and Epiphone strove to make an axe that puts the sound of a dozen guitars at your fingertips. The result is what you make it -- a straight ahead awesome rock guitar or something completely new and groundbreaking. The "Phant-o-matic" employs two classic Epiphone pickups, our famous Alnico Classic Plus(TM) Humbucker in the bridge and an Alnico Classic(TM) Humbucker in the neck position. To get the most of the wide tonal possibilities from this pickup arrangement, we've included a mono VariTone(TM), much like the one used most famously by blues legend B. B. King.  

Other Premium Features: Like many of our classic solid body electrics, the Wilshire "Phant-o-matic" uses our LockTone(TM) Tune-o-Matic(TM)/StopBar bridge for tuning and intonation accuracy. Machine heads are nickel Wilkenson(TM) vintage style tuners with green keys. And to protect it, Epiphone has included a premium, padded gigbag.
